Through the voice of President Florentino Perez, Real Madrid tackled the 2024 Ballon d’Or which escaped its striker Vinicius Jr.
The temptation was certainly strong. In particular in front of the members gathered on Sunday for the general assembly of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez had the right audience to address a new challenge to the Ballon d’Or and its organizers. The president of the Spanish club with fifteen Champions League titles scratched the trophy which rewards the best player in the world of the year.
“ There are journalists that no one knows and who came to vote this year. Without the vote of journalists from countries like Uganda, Namibia, Albania and Finland, Vinícius would have won this Ballon d’Or “, declared Florentino Perez, in comments reported by local media. The journalists in question will appreciate it.
They haven’t digested Rodri yet
Last month, the trophy was presented to Spanish international midfielder Rodrigo (Manchester City). The one who is more commonly called Rodri was 41 points ahead of Vinicus Jr, second.
“ Dear Vini, I want you to know that Real Madrid fans are proud of you, of everything you have had to endure on many occasions, unfairly. All this has made you the player you are », Confided Perez to his Brazilian left winger.
This second place, deemed unfair by the president of Real, pushed him to boycott the Ballon d’Or ceremony, like the entire Madrid delegation, organized last month on the stage of the Châtelet theater in Paris.
